Leadership isn’t just for the loudest voice in the room. In this episode of PsychLeadership, we challenge the myth that great leaders must be charismatic extroverts and explore the power of introverted leadership. Many of history’s most effective leaders—from Abraham Lincoln to Bill Gates—have been quiet, reflective thinkers who lead through deep listening, strategic thinking, and thoughtful decision-making. Learn how introverts can harness their strengths, build influence, and thrive in leadership roles without changing who they are.
